Wine of the Week: Domaine de Villeneuve La Griffe 2010

Once 'the claw' has got it hooks into you it won't let go...

This Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend comes from the northern perimeter of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape plateau in the Courthezon region of the Rhone valley. Totally biodynamic and made from 80 year old vines, the wine is fermented in cement tanks, as is traditional in Chateauneuf, for 10 months. The result is a dark, rich and brooding wine with a fabulous violet lift from the Syrah. Its taut and perfectly formed, drinking beautifully now-2015.

Not only is the wine a real stunner but the bottle is pretty impressive too!
